Marauder of Avon

Gay and Depressed in Prison

3rd place entry in Corgi's Gaybellion Contest

In this game, you play a very familiar character from the previous Gay and Depressed stories, who is now in jail. You used to be a side character in other people's stories, but now the spotlight is finally yours in this Gay and Depressed spin-off!

If you're interested in some more Gay and Depressed story games, check out the original by queenlatifah04, Gay Old Time by Darius_Conwright, Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_of_the_oven, and Gay and Depressed: The snow bunny society by Benholman44. All of the "gay and depressed" stories are stand-alone stories, so each one can be read separately, but I highly recommend you check these stories out!

An Entry for Endmaster's Edutainment Contest

>

An edutainment game that is designed to teach the complicated math of High Finance while also bringing you into the dangerous underworld of financial crime. Will you survive and come out on top? Or will you just become another statistic, a foolish high roller who wanted to make it big but got sucked into the machine, ultimately losing everything you've worked so hard for.

Embezzling, derivatives, and risk. You play as Shawn Carombe, an amoral and wealthy Harvard Business School graduate awash in the world of high finance.

Solve problems. Go out to fancy nightclubs. Drink expensive cocktails. Do crazy drugs, with names covering the whole alphabet. Wear fancy suits. Party with hard people who call you brother one moment, and in the next, stab you in the back. But above all else, be ruthless and unforgiving.

Calculus and Statistical Theory are your weapons of choice and your number one tools to get an edge over the competition. But if all else fails, the silver handled chrome gun tucked securely in your pocket has a bullet with your rival’s name stamped all over it…

Special thanks to Endmaster for hosting such a cool contest, everyone in this wonderful community who has supported me throughout this journey, and most of all, to the readers who are currently staring at this title page, and are on the verge of embarking on an exciting adventure, rife with organized crime, gangsters, illegal drugs, and tons and tons of math(wasn't a typo, you'll get both meth and math in this story XD)! I hope you like this storygame, and don't forget to rate and leave a comment at the end! Thank you!

Yay! There's definitely no inter-gazette nepotism going on here.

I still got 69(lol)

Lol. I like this idea. I'll donate 2000 points, buying 2 comms for the wardens. Milton, Clay, Chris, Enter, Petros, Stargirl, Ace, I feel like we've got some pretty cool CYStians in the running for this prize. I like it! Best of luck to y'all! Also, I just realized some of the CYStians mentioned are not in the top ten, and thus, wouldn't be in the running for the prize. Is it possible for some of their story games to get commended, so they can jump up the ranks? Storygames by Wardens not in the top ten that seem Comm-worthy(but it's up to the discretion of the mods) 1. Bird in a cage by Ace 2. Of Dreams and Daemons 3. Duke of Agincourt

Hi Lyra, Welcome to the site! We have quite a few survivor stories. I'll recommend you check out the following stories. 1. The Siberian by Yummy Food: https://chooseyourstory.com/story/the-siberian- It's a story about an ancient tribe in Siberia, and one hunter's quest to survive. 2. The Lost Expedition Part 1 by Will11 Anything by Will is a good bet. You play as an adventurer sent to an island to figure out what happened to a party of 50 men, lost in the jungles of the Island of Marco. 3. The Lost Expedition Part 2 also by Will11. Same thing, but the 2nd part. 4. Climbing beyond the Clouds - It's about the exploits of the people who first climbed Mount Everest. It's by Will 11(again!) 5. Terror of the Sea by Will11 It's a story of survival that focuses on the tragic crash of the USS Indianapolis submarine. It's the most recent story on the site, and it's a well done story that stays historically accurate. I think your students are at the age in which they can appreciate the more grisly aspects of history, and understand that history isn't always pretty and wrapped up in a bow. At the same time, I do recommend you read through these entries, as our stories do not shy away from showing the dark side of war. From what I can remember, I would feel comfortable reading most of these in a classroom setting, although I would recommend you read through each of the 5 recommendations, in case there's anything you'd rather not show in front of a classroom of middle schoolers.

Thanks again for the interview, and for being so kind and gracious with answering all my questions! It was a real treat to be able to speak with you, and for people who haven't already, check out Sindri's games! I hope you enjoyed this just as much as I did.

Thanks Avo! Love the enthusiasm!

That's a really interesting idea UD! Let me bring it up to Milton! I think it might be a difficult task, since most of the gazette staff are adults with jobs, family responsibilities, and other things going on, and the weekly issue might get demanding. But maybe if we rotate, with 2 contributors assigned to a particular week, then we can have people choose which weeks work. I think that's actually a really interesting idea. One thing to consider would be oversaturation. It could get tiring with people not reading through it all if we release one every week, but perhaps we can make it work. I would say time and frequency of issues are the 2 things I would want to consider and discuss with the crew, but maybe we could make it work! Most likely though, we'd have to stay with the tried and true model of monthly posts since it works for our schedules and IRL lives.

Hey Diogenes, I apologize for responding to this message so late. Sometimes, I see a message and go to respond, then forget. But seriously, this means a lot! I really appreciate the fact that you enjoy my fungus article. Horror fiction with fungi is so cool! I mean, on one hand, some authors go for the creepy mushroom parasite route, some go for the psychedelic route(these psychedelics actually target 5-HT2A serotonin receptors in the brain and fiddle with the Default Mode Network, there are so many fascinating neurobiology papers on this topic. Let me know if you're interested, I'll send you some). You can also have giant Lovecraftian mushroom monsters as well, the possibilities are endless! We're actually releasing our next issue today! Please check it out! And dude, I seriously can't thank you enough for this kind comment. It means the world when someone says a specific article they enjoyed, and I honestly never thought someone would really enjoy my article. Thanks again and welcome to the community!

Hey Mizal, You're already doing a really great job. You're one of the best writers on the site, and you've published in the double digits, which is awesome! So don't be too hard on yourself(although I think this is more of a reference to an older thread. Thanks for referring me to this thread, here's the thread for people wondering: https://chooseyourstory.com/forums/writing-workshop/message/17192. It's a fun read!) You published Kobold Kebabs earlier this year, which is already climbing the Fantasy ranks and doing really well! I guess, to adhere to the conditions set forth in the original post, here's my yelling motivation: YOU'RE DOING GREAT. KEEP GOING! YOU GOT THIS! WRITE THE KING'S MUSIC BOX!

Luna, It wasn't my intention to accuse you of being a creep. It's just that roleplaying on the forums has a history of being weird, to the point where the Forum Games section was completely nuked. When you pair that with the wolf/anime profile picture, it set off a few alarm bells, but that's through no fault of your own. I feel kind of bad about making you feel like a creep. All I'm saying is, sometimes with younger people on here, they may make mistakes, and there have been instances in the past where stuff like this had occurred, so many of us air on the side of caution. And the primary purpose of the site isn't roleplaying, so when you combine that with the unfortunate association liking animals has with certain proclivities towards furry stuff, we tend to be a bit cautious. Perhaps take a break from some of the roleplaying posts, and talk about writing. Or maybe what you like in choose your own adventure stories. Or, you can write one! Regardless, it's really cool for you to like animals, and there's a bunch of people who are 30 and older on here. So don't feel like that excludes you. We're primarily a reader-driven author-fueled choose your own adventure site, so please check out some of the stories on here! And feel free to talk about your works, what you like to write about, any WIPs you may have. I promise, we don't bite! We actually have a writing contest going on right now. Maybe it's a good chance to get a feel for the place and kind of see what we're all about! It's an edutainment contest, where a bunch of us are competing to write the best edutainment CYOA. Listen to Will and Cavus's comments. They put it really well. Honestly, I think they said everything that needs to be said on the topic, so take their advice and have a good time!
